Agenda item

Consideration was given to a report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services which provided an update following the decision of the First Tier Tribunal in Councillor Blenkinsopp’s appeal against the decision of the Standards Committee (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Governance Solicitor advised that although the First Tier Tribunal upheld the original decision of the Standards Committee that there had been a breach of the Code of Conduct, their determination was to vary the sanction which had originally been imposed from a three month suspension to a one month suspension.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
